Livingstone was only in his thirties, but he had been an amateur coach and referee in Ontario for years, and knew every good senior player in the province. That gave him a big advantage in the lean years of World War I, when most of the established stars joined the army and went off to the trenches in France. I think some of the bad blood between him and the other owners came because they kept raiding his teams for players and he was inclined to fight back. He had a temper like Donald Duck.

I'm impressed that you can remember so much at your age!
